Q.

When photons of energy 4.25 eV strike the surface of metal, A, the ejected photoelectrons have maximum kinetic energy TA and de Broglie wavelength λA.The maximum kinetic energy of  photoelectrons liberated from another metal B by photons of energy 4.70 eV is TB=TA1.50  eV . If the de Broglie wavelength of these photoelectron is λB=2λA , then

The threshold wavelength is 5200 A0. For ejection of electrons, the wavelength of the light should be less than 5200 A0 so that frequency increases and hence the energy of incident photon increases. UV light has less 
wavelength than A0.
